bit honest last maybe potent year
To be honest with you, I think last year it maybe was a little bit more potent in the lineup,
balanced balls bit count early far ground guys last middle obviously offense pitch power powerful similar year
I think they have a really balanced offense this year as far as guys that can get on, and obviously the power that they have in the middle of the lineup. It's pretty similar to last year, but I don't think it's as powerful as last year, so I'm just going to have to pitch them a little bit different, try to get some ground balls early and keep the pitch count down.
business copy following last watching year
Just following these guys, watching them all year long, and even last year, it's just been great. I just try to copy the way they go about their business out there on the mound.
against confidence defeat definitely inside last success year
The success that I had last year against (the Cardinals) is definitely a big confidence boost, and it just allows me to know inside that I can defeat them and do well against them,
helps last playoffs success year
The success that I had in the playoffs last year helps me relax,
affect alone atmosphere basically helps last playoffs success year
The success that I had alone in the playoffs last year helps me relax. Helps me just basically know that I'm not going to let the playoff atmosphere affect me in any way because I've been through it before and I've also succeeded.
felt game
This whole game I felt like I did pretty good,
belt felt forward looking season start
Everything felt pretty good. I'm looking forward to getting that first start under my belt and get the season under way.
parents
Everything else is fine. My parents are good, my family's good.
awesome excited felt finally season start today waiting warming
Warming up before the game, I felt really good. I was really excited to get out there today finally and have my first start of the season and actually do well. It was awesome for me to get out there because it's something I'd been waiting on for a week.
feels pains sharp
I don't feel any sharp pains or anything like that. My back feels good, it just doesn't feel awesome.
felt finish guess help hopefully hurt month rehab season start starts
I guess in a way (the layoff could help his arm), but I haven't even made my first start back yet. I had rehab starts just to see if I felt good, and you go out there just to see how it feels. I don't know if that month off is going to hurt me or is going to help me. Hopefully I can finish out the season on my part and do well.
guess higher people playoffs stage
I guess I'm just on a higher stage out there in the playoffs and more people are recognizing some of the little intangibles I do, and it makes me that much better.
irritating somebody touch
But it's irritating when you can't get in touch with somebody you have to.
